  1. Hi Guys,

     I am looking to replace the rear boot grab on my 26 year old ford escort cabriolet. The codes for the part are: 7330123 and 93ABA434048F. I have tried looking however I can't find one anywhere.

    Hoping someone will be able to help me.

    Thanks Frankie

  2. Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone know where to buy a good ford rear logo badge for a 25 year old ford cabriolet? Thanks Frankie
  3. RScab thank you so much for your reply. Sadly I don't understand anything related to cars. My dad passed away 6 months ago and he would have been able to sort this problem out. Do you know anyone who would be able to look at the car in Hertfordshire? Thanks once again Frankie

  10. Hi all, I am with Footman James, we have our cab insured as a classic for a minimum of £10,000 for a fixed premium of £430 December last year someone kindly Hit the rear quarter of our Cab. With in two days an insurance assessor inspected the vehicle and said it could not be repaired as parts were not available. We wanted the car and agreed a buy back price and with in 5 days they paid the balance of £10,000 into our bank. Thanks to two club members they found me a car being broken for spares, we cut off the complete rear quarter. my local body repairer (A and true craftsman's ) spent the last five months repairing the car. The car is like new again and Footman James have re-insured the car for £10,000. why go else where? When I sort out my PC I will post the history of the rebuild. Keith
  11. Hi Ian, thanks will check the diary to see if the with will part with her "baby"! Forgot to ask you what did you think of the car? took me 7 months to restore to that condition. I must post the story of the re-build,the problems of parts and how we solved the problem of a worn seat. Keith

    If it helps, I had a problem with my MK5, kept stalling and stopping. There was a carbon build up in the inlet manifold that blocked part of the butterfly. The problems was due to a leaking value, ended up in a complete engine rebuild? Keith
  18. Can any help, fitted new rad fan, disconnected the battery, now the radio is dead. Checked all fuses which are ok, is there an inline fuse for the radio? MK5 b radio cassette Keith
  19. Forget Adrian Flux, just wasted 3 weeks of my time. Phoned Footman James, quoted on the phone as a classic car, with an agreed value. Points to note:- You must be a fully paid up member to a car club and remain so, they checked my membership number on line whilst I was on the phone? The car has to be over 20 years old and original spec and condition. The car can be parked on the drive and has to be fitted with an immobilizer You can can agree the mileage 3k, 5K,7K to a max 10k per year. the price increase with the miles. Normal coverage includes shows, spares and you can even buy back the salvage if written off. They will quote for under 25's! Hope this helps I think is worth given them a phone Keith
  20. Had a lot of problems with Adrian Flux, quoted me an agreed value of £10k for £240. I refused to take it out without a written confirmation of the value, had to send 7 photo's and all details. 2 weeks later they have just come back with a value of £4k. Glad I did not take out the policy with them !!!! Customer service useless Just phoned Footman James they have agreed to insure for £10k as a classic car for £302 with a max of 5000 miles per year. Classic car specialist, first class service and they know all about cars. We can now drive the car knowing that the £5k plus restorations costs are fully covered. Just got to fit the new cooling fan this weekend (Ford wanted £249 for a new fan we purchase from onlinecarparts for £88 include shipment by UPS from Germany) Keith
